Christina C @RT43062178 8h While I am much older than the target audience I have enjoyed Starfleet Academy very much. I love the captain and her bare feet and the way she is involved emotionally and how she thinks outside of the box. I love the students, how they’re from all different walks of life and how they’ve learned to bond with each other. Of course I love SAM. How could you not?! I love their levels of inclusivity and the way, even within certain alien races, they’re exploring diversity such as they did with Jay-von. The character growth has been really fun to watch. I’m quite disappointed that there won’t be a third season, although I’m greatly looking forward to season two. I will probably come back and watch the series again in a couple years, definitely adding it to my rewatch roster. I’m disappointed in all the people that gave it poor reviews, saying it didn’t fit with the Star Trek genre or whatever they said because they are wrong. I feel like it fits in very much. See more James H. @DoppelDrachen 2d Coming from a generation two steps ahead of the target audience of Starfleet Academy also means coming from a generation when Star Trek meant something else to people. Many people look at this show and think, "It's not Star Trek." Those words were used to describe the Star Treks of my generation, when Picard commanded a new Enterprise, when Sisko watched over space on the verge of war, when Janeway's ship got "lost". I say, Starfleet Academy is Star Trek, possibly more than anyone realizes. From the moment it premiered to the last Season 1 episode it has been a joy to watch. It doesn't explore new worlds, it explores the human spirit and the human potential. It shows us how people from different places can come together and grow together as they learn about themselves as individuals and as a found family. In the end, when all the haters say otherwise, that is always what Star Trek has been about, from Kirk and Spock to Picard and Data to Caleb Mir and SAM and Jay-Den.

A nerd but not a psyfi nerd. Husband is a nerd tho, is in his 50s and he enjoyed this too! I used to love Enterprise and voyager and the original series and a bit of deep space 9. I couldn't get through Enterprise back in the day when it aired. I haven't dipped my toes back into star trek since then. But I sure got sucked into this season! In fact, now I want to go back and watch the last two ST series in the franchise because I liked this so much. The show is a wonderful balance of lightness and humor with complex life and war issues and classic does of action. I liked all the cast. The faculty, the students, the villains. I was pulled in by episode 2 and by 3 I was hooked. I am not an angry 50-60's year old nerd boy who MUST! HAVE! IT! EXACTLY! CATERED! TO! ME! I can watch something outside of my expectation & still enjoy it. See more Anna S. @SVENSG761 Mar 25 Just try to give whole season a chance and I do want ST:Academy as dvds. Not really happy with Paramount for slowly canceling all the Star Trek and how bad CBS treated Stephen Colbert but it’s cool Colbert is in it, too. I hated Section 31 movie but this series is way better than Section 31 movie. It does takes time to acclimate to these characters. It’s storytelling from the eyes of the young adults of starfleet who survived the Burn and future of Federation is in process of rebuilding. It was awesome with Voyager and DS9 callbacks, yeah. Currently finished episode 7 of season 1, I liked the series. Not up to love yet, but some characters I liked. It has budding young love between characters and a lot of trauma drama. It could be so much more, plot and development. I think the writers tried to portray Starfleet in a way that bridges most of Star Trek. Hopefully people to change their mind. I heard they are canceling after season 2. It has potential to be better. Come on See more William F. @RT56112709 Mar 24 Started slow but more action towards the end of the season. Mixed feelings on this one. See more Bee T @RT42439394 Mar 24 This show is absolutely incredible. I fell in love with Holly Hunter and Raoul Bhaneja and Gina Yashere immediately. Already loved Robert Picardo and Tig Notaro of course. Plus all of the kids, too... this season told so many beautiful stories and inspired so much hope. I fell in love with Star Trek as a teenager and this show recaptured that feeling of awe and hope and belonging that 90s Trek gave me. Captain Nahla is forever my captain. See more Read all reviews
